Brrillitant thanks for explaining in detail on the ticket - that's just what I needed! I see the problem yes....while I think about how I might solve that, one thing you might be able to do to speed things up for you is manually edit the romdata.dat file for the set you're adding IPS files to: In Ex...

Hi there! Thanks, below is a pic of a NES goodmerged set's listing, as you can see the children are there (Probotector is in there, its just off the screen) It looks like your set is not actually a goodmerged set, unless you've heavily customised it, as a you would see (J) instead of (Japan) for ins...

thanks for the praise, yes QuickPlay has many features that other frontends do not since it's design comes from a different place than many others. I haven't ever had this request before, so I added it here https://sourceforge.net/p/quickplay/feature-requests/62/ Could you give any further details (...

In particular I'd recommend the MAME softlists, if possible run with the MAME filepaths option so that you can run them with any emulator not just MAME Emulators (like RetroArch's emulators, for instance) - this can be quite powerful http://quickplay.sourceforge.net/wiki/images/3/3a/Mametool_softlis...

Sorry it took you so long. You have indeed re-discovered the old way of scanning only those roms you have in a folder. We've discussed this a lot in these forums (do a search if you haven't already) and I guess I misunderestimated how many people are still interested in pointing QuickPlay to a singl...

Hi there! Sorry for the late reply, you got tagged as a spammer and I didn't see your request until now * The initial-run wizard did some things, but I'm not sure exactly what it accomplished, since I had to go and do other kinds of scans later too. The first run wizard would probably have found you...

It sounds a bit like you are not using the MAME functionality from the 'Arcade ROMS' menu to process the MAME xml to produce a romdata? see the instructions here: http://quickplay.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/MAME. In the name field in a MAME Romdata in QuickPlay we want to see 'Area 51 Site 4' no...

me too in that case! I definitely reproduced your problem, and it was definitely resolved upon compiling my fix (when all other variables remained the same), let me know if it reccurs!

I think that once you alter the screen properties of the QuickPlay window in some way, this might nullifiy those three explicit setting sets. What happens if you download QP4.7.6 again in a test folder, set to minimise on launch, setup for a launch and then launch - the problem returns?

Found the problem, one issue with Delphi is its VERY easy to inadvertently move a UI element whilst navigating for development, and doing that just once to QuickPlay's main window had caused three sets of these to appear in various places in the main form: - ExplicitLeft = 0 - ExplicitTop = 0 - Expl...
